FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager _,`
DATE: April 17, 2014
RE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Sanitary Sewer System Flow Monitoring
Services / ADS Environmental Services (ADS) ($57,500)
Engineering staff requested and reviewed proposals from two firms for sanitary sewer flow
monitoring. Collected information will be used to identify areas of high inflow and infiltration of
clear water into the sanitary sewer system and to calibrate and verify the sanitary collection
system model that was developed by others for the City's collection system.
Engineering staff reviewed the proposals and costs. The service to be provided is flow
monitoring of sanitary sewer mains at five locations for a period of 60 days, with an option for 30
additional days. ADS of Huntsville, Alabama, with a regional office in Chicago, Illinois, was
chosen to perform these services because of their experience in providing these services.
Additionally, ADS has the ability to provide remote monitoring of the equipment. This allows for
quicker identification of any issues. The proposed fee is not to exceed $57,500. Funds for
these services are budgeted in the Sanitary Sewer section of the CIP.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of
a specialized nature, including engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager
without the use of a formal, sealed quote process. I have reviewed this agreement and, in
accordance with Section 12 -16 of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this
engineering services agreement.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this engineering services agreement.
